Applied Modularity
Applied Modularity
Do we really need OSGi, Micro Services and the Java Module System?
About the Book
This book offers a general introduction into modularity in software engineering. The main part, however, represents an overview of five different approaches to modularity from a practical point of view. An example business domain is used to explain how the different modularity approaches work. When comparing the different approaches, similarities, differences, benefits and disadvantages between them become visible. To all implementations of the example business domain mentioned in the book code is available for you at GitHub. The book refers to this code that enables you to view, run, modify and rerun the implementations in your IDE. Finally, some projects reports are presented that provide some insight on how to cope with typical problems that you may face on the different ways to modularity.

C++20
Rainer GrimmC++20 is the next big C++ standard after C++11. As C++11 did it, C++20 changes the way we program modern C++. This change is, in particular, due to the big four of C++20: ranges, coroutines, concepts, and modules.
